Weapons & Guns

Gunna todavía no está tomando ningún riesgo con su vida mientras el juicio de Young Thug YSL se entrampa, y está permitiendo que unos guardias armados vigilen su espalda.

El rapero de "Fukumean" fue visto haciendo compras con sus guardaespaldas en Saks Fifth Avenue en Beverly Hills esta semana, un escenario ideal para gastar dinero en efectivo y no tener que preocuparse de que te roben cuando lo sacas.

Estas compras en particular ocurrieron sin problemas, pero este año ya fue encarado por un completo extraño y más enemigos podrían estar al acecho en cualquier parte.

Su ex compañero en "Drip So Hard" Lil Baby dejó caer una nueva canción titulada "350" el viernes que parecía apuntar a Gunna. Esta decía: "I know one day it's gon' hit me/Bro ain't never comin' back/Ain't never say nothin' 'bout it, n****, you know you a rat".

La seguridad de Gunna le hará ganar puntos con los OGs o leyendas del rap, Charlamagne Tha God hizo hincapié en la importancia de contar con guardaespaldas profesionales cuando opinió sobre el desastre de Nardo Wick con nosotros a principios de este mes.

Gunna still isn't taking any chances with his life as Young Thug's YSL trial trudges on -- even for a simple day of shopping, he's got hired guns watching his back and his front.

The "Fukumean" rapper was spotted shopping with his armed bodyguards at Saks Fifth Avenue in Bev Hills this week -- which might sound like the ideal scenario to spend cash and not worry about being robbed. But, Gunna clearly thinks otherwise.

This particular shopping trip went down without a hitch but remember ... he was confronted by a complete rando this year, and he's gotta be thinking more enemies could be lurking just about anywhere.

His former "Drip So Hard" brother Lil Baby dropped a new song titled "350" Friday that appeared to target Gunna ... "I know one day it's gon' hit me/Bro ain't never comin' back/Ain't never say nothin' 'bout it, n****, you know you a rat."

Gunna's heavy-duty security should earn him brownie points with the OGs ... Charlamagne Tha God stressed the importance of having pros while discussing the Nardo Wick disaster with us earlier this month.

MC Hammer has clear reasoning as to why he didn't participate in any of the events to celebrate Hip Hop's 50th anniversary -- the culture's gotten childish and he's a grown-ass man!!!

The 60-year-old rap legend outlined his stance during Tupac Shakur's Oakland street naming last month, and the clip is beginning to blaze the internet.

During the ceremony, Hammer celebrated not using his legendary career for interview clicks, but also laid into veteran rappers who have been rapping about murder all these years ... without the body count or rap sheet to back up their bars.

The "U Can't Touch This" rapper became friends with Pac during his time living in the Bay, and credited his late homie for being the only one to get him to play along with the charade of the music biz.

The Grammys aired its star-studded celebration this week and the event's producer, Questlove, openly expressed his disappointment Hammer told him no, despite repeated requests.

Hammer wasn't alone in deflecting from HipHop50 celebrations -- André 3000 didn't see much merit in them at this point in time.

La decisión de Elon Musk de dejar al teórico de la conspiración Alex Jones volver a X es especialmente molesta para el padre de una víctima del tiroteo en la escuela Sandy Hook, y  tiene algunas palabras fuertes para el multimillonario.

David Wheeler, cuyo hijo, Benjamin, fue uno de los estudiantes de primer grado asesinados en la escuela primaria en 2012, le dice a TMZ que la llamada de Elon para dejar que Alex vuelva a la aplicación de medios sociales es una prueba más de que el tipo es un "sociópata".

Como era de esperar, se siente de la misma manera acerca de Jones, quien ha repetido atrozmente su teoría de que el tiroteo de Sandy Hook fue un engaño, por lo tanto, David piensa que Musk y Jones se merecen el uno al otro.

Él dice que no le sorprende que Elon reincorporade a Jones a la plataforma de redes sociales.

David dice que dejó de usar X/Twitter cuando Elon tomó las riendas y continúa diciendo que Elon y Alex no se preocupan por él, y esa es la forma en la que opera el mundo.

Como informamos, Elon puso una encuesta en su plataforma preguntándole a la gente si la cuenta de Jones debe o no ser restaurada y alrededor del 70 por ciento votó a favor de traerlo de vuelta.

Jones fue expulsado en 2018 mientras estaba hasta el cuello en demandas por difamación de las familias de las víctimas de Sandy Hook. Demandas que perdió y por las cuales terminó debiendo casi mil millones de dólares a los demandantes. En ese momento, Tuiter citó el comportamiento abusivo en su cuenta como la razón por la que lo estaban expulsando.

Curiosamente, hace aproximadamente un año, Musk —después de comprar Tuiter— juró que no reincorporaría a Jones, porque habiendo perdido él mismo a un hijo, no tenía "piedad con nadie que utilizara la muerte de niños para obtener beneficios, política o fama".

David nos dice que el hecho de que Elon diera marcha atrás sobre el estatus X de Jones "basándose en las opiniones de los usuarios y no en sus propias convicciones, me dice que no tiene convicciones".

Elon Musk's decision to welcome conspiracy theorist Alex Jones back on X is especially upsetting to the parent of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim, who now has some strong words for the billionaire.

David Wheeler, whose son, Benjamin, was one of the first graders murdered at the elementary school in 2012, tells TMZ ... Elon's call to let Alex back on the social media app is further proof the guy is a "sociopath."

As you'd expect, he feels the same way about Jones -- who's heinously repeated his theory the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax -- so, David thinks Musk and Jones deserve each other.

For that reason, he says he's not at all shocked Elon reinstated Jones on the social media platform.

David says he stopped using X/Twitter when Elon took the reins ... and goes on to say Elon and Alex don't care about him, and that's just how they operate in the world.

As we reported, Elon put up a poll on his platform, asking folks whether or not Jones' account should be restored ... and about 70 percent voted in favor of bringing him back.

Jones was given the boot in 2018 while neck-deep in defamation lawsuits from families of the Sandy Hook victims -- which he lost and owes nearly $1 billion to the plaintiffs. At the time, Twitter cited abusive behavior on his account as the reason it was 86'ing him.

Interestingly, about a year ago, Musk -- after buying Twitter -- vowed he would not reinstate Jones because, having lost a child himself, he had "no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame."

David tells us the fact Elon reversed field on Jones' X status "based on the opinions of users and not his own convictions, tells me that he has no convictions."

Keanu Reeves' home has once again been targeted ... law enforcement sources say burglars in ski masks broke into his place and fled the area before officers arrived.

We're told the actor's L.A. home was burglarized Wednesday evening ... with LAPD responding to an anonymous call about a possible trespasser at his property at around 7 PM. Cops arrived on the scene, and conducted a search, but found no one.

But, we're told police were back there again around 1 AM when an alarm sounded on the property ... and this time officers say multiple men in ski masks were spotted on security cams smashing a window and entering the house.

According to our sources, the culprits took one firearm from the home before making a run for it. It's unclear if anything else was taken, but Keanu was not home at the time.

Detectives are still looking at videos from the home and around the neighborhood for more clues. We're told one thing they're specifically looking into is whether the first call to cops was made by someone scoping the house.

The 'John Wick' star's home has been at the center of similar attempts in the past ... with two back-to-back intruders in 2014 -- and he was also granted a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker who he says showed up at his home earlier this year.

La casa de Keanu Reeves fue atacada por ladrones con pasamontañas que huyeron antes de que llegaran los oficiales, TMZ ha indagado.

La policía de Los Ángeles respondió a una llamada anónima sobre un posible intruso en su propiedad alrededor de las 7 PM del miércoles.

Sin embargo, cuando los policías llegaron a la escena y llevaron a cabo una búsqueda, no encontraron a nadie.

La policía estuvo de vuelta en la escena horas más tarde, alrededor de la 1 de la mañana después de recibir una llamada de alarma de la propiedad, esta vez se pudo ver en las imágenes de la cámara de seguridad de la casa que varios hombres con pasamontañas habían roto una ventana para entrar.

Los delincuentes se llevaron un arma de fuego de la casa antes de darse a la fuga.

No está claro si se llevaron algo más que la pistola y Keanu —que no estaba en casa en ese momento— buscará en su casa para ver qué más falta, si es que falta algo.

Nos han dicho que los detectives siguen buscando pistas en los videos de la casa y del vecindario y están tratando de averiguar si la primera llamada la hizo alguien que estaba inspeccionando la casa.

Aún no se han realizado detenciones y el caso está siendo investigado.

Ni que decir tiene que los ladrones tuvieron suerte de no cruzarse con Keanu, ya que no habrían tenido ninguna oportunidad con el amplio entrenamiento con armas de fuego del actor de "John Wick".

La casa de Keanu ha sufrido intentos similares en varias ocasiones, con dos intrusos consecutivos en 2014, y también se le concedió una orden de restricción temporal contra un presunto acosador que según él se presentó en su casa a principios de este año.

Hunter Biden has been charged with 9 crimes in connection with the DOJ's investigation into his alleged tax evasion.

President Joe Biden's son was charged with failure to pay taxes, evasion of assessment, filing false or fraudulent tax returns, among other charges.

The new case from special counsel David Weiss stems from Hunter's business dealings overseas. Prosecutors claim Hunter at one point owed $2 million to the IRS, which he apparently paid back in 2021 ... with a loan from a friend.

As we reported, Hunter was also indicted on gun charges back in September -- charged with one count of making false statements in connection with the purchase of a firearm, one count of making false statements to a federal firearms licensed dealer, and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

LeBron James is fed up with the lack of change to America's gun laws after the recent mass shooting on UNLV's campus ... saying it's "ridiculous" to see yet another tragedy unfold somewhere people should feel safe.

LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers are slated to face off against the New Orleans Pelicans in Vegas for the semi-finals of the In-Season Tournament on Thursday ... and when speaking with media members, the four-time champ expressed his frustrations with hearing about yet another act of gun violence.

"It just goes back to what I said before about guns in America," LeBron said Wednesday. "I think it's such a longer conversation, but we're the only ones who keep dealing with this same story, this same conversation every single time it happens, and it just continues to happen."

"The ability to get a gun, the ability to do these things over and over and over, and there's been no change is literally ridiculous. It makes no sense that we continue to lose innocent lives, on campuses, on schools, at shopping markets and movie theaters and all type of stuff. It's just ridiculous."

67-year-old college professor Anthony Polito is accused of opening fire on UNLV's campus ... killing three people and wounding a fourth. Investigators are reportedly looking into whether a recent job rejection played a role in the act.

LeBron -- who has been outspoken against gun violence in the past -- believes lawmakers are asleep at the wheel ... claiming firearms have become even more accessible throughout the country.

"The fact that we haven't changed anything -- it's actually been a lot easier to actually be able to own a firearm, it's stupid."

El hombre acusado de iniciar un tiroteo masivo en Las Vegas y que dejó varias víctimas fatales ha sido identificado como un profesor universitario que puede haber sido rechazado de un trabajo y que también dice que resolvió el infame caso de asesinato Zodiac.

Anthony Polito, de 67 años, fue identificado por la policía como el sospechoso que disparó mortalmente a tres personas e hirió de gravedad a una cuarta víctima durante la matanza del miércoles en el campus de la Universidad de Nevada, en Las Vegas, según informó ABC News citando fuentes policiales.

La CNN dijo que los investigadores estaban estudiando si Polito fue desairado después de haber enviado su currículum para un puesto en la UNLV, lo que habría llevado al ataque.

Según la Policía Metropolitana de Las Vegas, Polito estaba armado con una pistola cuando entró en la escuela de negocios de la universidad alrededor del mediodía y fue piso por piso, disparando a cuatro personas, tres de los cuales perdieron la vida.

La víctima superviviente fue trasladada a un hospital local y se encuentra en estado crítico, pero estable. Otras cuatro personas también fueron tratadas por crisis de pánico.

Un oficial de la policía rápidamente acudió a la universidad cuando recibió el llamado y le ordenó a todos los estudiantes y profesores que se refugiaran en el lugar. Dos detectives de la universidad se enzarzaron finalmente en un tiroteo con Polito, quien fue declarado muerto en el lugar de los hechos. Al parecer, fue abatido a tiros por la policía.

Se presume que Polito tenía su propio sitio web, donde publicó un documento de 15 páginas en el que afirmaba haber descifrado algunas de las crípticas cartas que el asesino del Zodiaco envió a los medios de comunicación sobre su matanza a finales de los 60 y principios de los 70 en el norte de California. Hasta hoy, el caso sigue sin resolverse.

The man accused of going on a fatal mass shooting spree in Las Vegas is a college professor who may have been rejected from a job he applied for, while also claiming he cracked ciphers in the infamous Zodiac murder case.

67-year-old Anthony Polito was identified by police as the suspect who fatally shot three people and critically wounded a fourth during Wednesday’s rampage on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, ABC News reported, citing law enforcement sources.

CNN said investigators were looking into whether Polito was snubbed after sending in his resume for a position at UNLV, leading to the attack.

According to Las Vegas Metro Police, Polito was armed with a handgun as he entered the university's business school around noon and went floor to floor, shooting four people -- three of whom fatally.

The surviving victim was rushed to a local hospital and listed in critical but stable condition. Four other people were also treated for panic attacks.

An army of police officers quickly responded to the college, ordering all students and professors to shelter in place. Two university detectives ultimately got into a shootout with Polito, who was pronounced dead at the scene. It appears he was shot and killed by police.

Meanwhile, Polito reportedly maintained his own website, where he posted a 15-page document, claiming he decoded some of the Zodiac Killer's cryptic letters sent to the media about the late '60s and early '70s serial murders in Northern California. To this day, the Zodiac case remains unsolved.

Un policía militar le disparó a su esposa hasta provocarle la muerte después de haberla golpeado brutalmente durante un enfrentamiento en Brasil y todo fue grabado en video.

Thiago Cezar de Lima estaba fuera de servicio el domingo cuando comenzó a discutir con su esposa, Erika, por alguna razón dentro de un carro aparcado en Sao Paulo.

Echa un vistazo a las imágenes de vigilancia, Erika salta del asiento del conductor, da vueltas alrededor del carro e intenta abrir una puerta del lado del pasajero para sacar a Thiago del asiento trasero.

Los dos se enzarzan en un violento forcejeo mientras Thiago sale del vehículo con una pistola en la mano. Thiago golpea repetidamente a Erika en la cabeza antes de apuntarle con la pistola.

Según los informes, Thiago cargó a Erika en el carro y se la llevó a un hospital local, donde fue declarada su muerte.

A military police officer reportedly shot his wife to death after brutally beating her during a heated confrontation in Brazil ... and it was all caught on video.

Thiago Cezar de Lima was off-duty Sunday when he started arguing with his wife, Erika, for some reason inside a parked car in Sao Paolo.

Check out the surveillance footage ... Erika jumps out of the driver's seat and circles around the car, ripping open a passenger side door and trying to yank Thiago out of the backseat.

The two get into a violent struggle as Thiago pops out of the vehicle with a pistol gripped in his hand. Thiago repeatedly punches Erika in the head before aiming the gun at her.

Thiago reportedly loaded Erika into the car and drove her to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

An American warship was attacked in the Red Sea this weekend as the fighting between Israel and Hamas picked back up again -- and the U.S. government says Yemen did it.

The USS Carney -- a Naval destroyer of ours that patrols the region -- was bombarded with missiles and drones over the course of 5 hours Sunday, but appears to have fought off much of (if not all) of the incoming fire ... this according to Pentagon officials.

There were accompanying commercial ships that were traversing the Red Sea alongside Carney -- and reports say some of those might've been hit during the cross fire.

None of those commercial ships are American, but some are said to have British and Israeli ties ... allies of the U.S. Government officials say Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility, although the rebels didn't specifically ID Carney as a target. Still, it appears the warship was caught up in it all ... at this point, no casualties have been reported.

The Houthi militia stand in solidarity with Hamas and are warning vessels that they believe come from Israel to stay out of the area -- and claim the ships that were attacked Sunday failed to heed their commands and evacuate the space.

Obviously, this comes on the heels of the end of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel last week -- with the IDF now continuing their campaign in Gaza to secure hostages.

It's unclear how the U.S. will respond to the Houthi aggression -- but it goes without saying ... attacking an American warship could easily result in an escalation of tensions on our end.

Un buque de guerra estadounidense ha sido atacado en el Mar Rojo este fin de semana al reanudarse los combates entre Israel y Hamás, y el gobierno de Estados Unidos afirma que ha sido Yemen.

El USS Carney, un destructor naval norteamericano que patrulla la región, fue bombardeado con misiles y aviones no tripulados en el transcurso de 5 horas el domingo, pero parece haber luchado contra la mayor parte (si no todos) del fuego entrante, esto de acuerdo con funcionarios del Pentágono.

Estaba acompañando a los buques comerciales que atravesaban el Mar Rojo junto a Carney, y los informes dicen que algunos de ellos podrían haber sido alcanzados durante el fuego cruzado.

Ninguno de esos buques comerciales es estadounidense, pero se dice que algunos tienen vínculos británicos e israelíes. Aliados de los EE.UU. y funcionarios del gobierno dicen que los rebeldes Houthi en Yemen han reivindicado la responsabilidad, aunque los rebeldes no identificaron específicamente a Carney como un objetivo. Aun así, parece que el buque de guerra se vio envuelto en todo por el momento, no se ha informado de víctimas.

La milicia Houthi solidariza con Hamás y le advierte a los buques que ellos creen que proceden de Israel que se mantengan fuera de la zona y afirman que los buques que fueron atacados el domingo no hicieron caso a sus órdenes y evacuaron el espacio.

Obviamente, esto viene tras el fin del alto el fuego entre Hamás e Israel la semana pasada, con las FDI continuando ahora su campaña en Gaza para asegurar a los rehenes.

No está claro cómo los EE.UU. responderá a la agresión Houthi, pero no hace falta decir que atacar a un buque de guerra estadounidense podría fácilmente dar lugar a una escalada de tensiones en nuestro extremo.

Fat Joe believes rappers have a right to use their imagination and lyrics any way they see fit ... and those words shouldn't be used in criminal cases.

The Bronx-bred rap legend spoke to TMZ Hip Hop Friday in NYC as he supported the United Justice Coalition at the Jacob Javitz Center ... he really wants justice for Young Thug after feeling prosecutors in his ongoing RICO trial are trying to jam him up by highlighting generic lyrics.

Joe explains he never goes into writing a song to lie ... he says hip hop is the ultimate storytelling vehicle and compares it to fictional books and movies.

If he had a bad day, Joe says he may record an aggressive track like "Take A Look At My Life," a good mood could birth a Grammy Award nominee in "All The Way Up" ... emotions have always been his guide to lyrical content.

Joe was recently on CNN where he made the 95% estimate during a convo about Young Thug's ongoing RICO trial where his lyrics are being used as evidence by the prosecution in attempts to prove murders and corruption.

He tells us freedom of speech shouldn't come with prison sentences -- or censorship of art.

Joe says he would hate to see Martin Scorsese abandon mafia movies and notes he recently watched three Netflix movies involving killers ... and nobody is going to trial for depicting the fake murders.
